A Terrible Railroad Disaster.

The worst railway accident in the his
tory of this country, occurred at A. NJ,
Thursday, near Chatsworth, Illinois, on
the Toledo, Peoria & Western railroad.
4 train of fifteen cars. filed with happy
excursionests mainly from Peoria, bound
for Niagara Falls, went through bridge
spanning Vermilion river, and the long
train of cars with their occupants fell In
to the stream. The engineer saw the
bridge was on fire. but could not stop the
train in season to prevent the disaster.
The killed number rs the wounded up
wards of 200 The bridge. II appears,
was fired by burning grass on the prairie.
The only way to prevent such accidents Is
to build OF iron or to police the tracks
better The cars piled up. one npon an
other, ten coaches In a heap, and then
caught fire from oil lamps--ano,her show
